Abstract:

This is the first installment of a reprint of the journal of young journalist Ruffin Wirt Tomlinson written during his senior year at the university, and two years before his death. What little is known about Tomlinson's life is found in his journal pages, although some additional biographical information culled from land and university records is included in the introduction. The journal is one of the only accounts of the university during this period that survives.
